Advanced Search - Exclude specific sellers not working

[kcmule]

Hi, this function used to work.  But now when I try it, I get basically just a blank page.

Advanced Search -> I check "Only show items from:" -> "Specific sellers (enter seller's user IDs)" -> change dropdown to "Exclude" -> I enter seller's ID -> click Search

Results in :

All Listings- Auction Buy It Now

listings Save this search

Thanks

Are you using any search keywords in your search? In order to perform a search you need to enter at least one search term.

A valid point, however I do have a saved search that includes only specific sellers (in this case in one specific category) and it does not require me to enter any search terms:

UPDATE:  Yeah that's it, if I pick a specific category it does not require any search terms.  Thanks!
